Photographic Instruction Guide
The comprehensive instructions cover:
* Use in Pregnancy for sitting comfortably, optimal foetal positioning and pelvic floor.
* Full set of Pre-natal Exercises to stay fit in prenancy and prepare for labour.
* Using the ball in Labour for a Natural Birth - coping with contractions, relaxation, progressing labour & using the ball to support mobile, active birth positions.
* Full set of Post-natal Exercises - starting off gently & building up to more advanced gym ball exercises, to help you get back into shape.
Choose the correct size for you:
A birthing ball needs to be bigger & firmer than a standard exercise gym ball. When sitting on the ball, with your feet flat on the floor, your hips should be raised approx 10cm above your knees. This raised sitting position brings the weight of the baby forward, giving relief from back pain & general discomfort felt in pregnancy. Also keeps the pelvis open & pressure off your lower back during labour & contractions.
Select the correct size ball for your height:
55cm: Under 5'2 (Under 155cm)
65cm: 5'2 to 5'8 (155cm to 173cm)
75cm: 5'8 and over (173cm & over)
